Twilight Illusions
Strong sexual content
He is thousands of years old, and the story of his origins is carved in the clay tablets of Ancient Sumer, for he was first known as Gilgamesh, King of Uruk.
In today's world, he is Damien the Eternal, master of illusion. The sexy, beguiling stage magician's persona is that of a vampire. He closes each show by pretending to bite the neck of a lovely audience volunteer. Sometimes he really does so, later, in mutually desired sexual encounters that sate his needs and feed his hunger. Afterward, though, his eager partners will remember only an erotic dream, and the marks he leaves on their necks vanish with the first touch of sunlight.
But the last two audience volunteers' marks never went away, because they were dead long before the dawn--drained of their blood by a vampire. Has Damien become a harbinger of his lifelong enemy, Death? Or is someone messing with his mind?
The illness that is slowly taking Shannon Mallory's life is progressing fast, but she is determined to live long enough bring her best friend's murderer to justice. Tawny was found dead of blood loss with two puncture wounds in her neck only hours after serving as audience volunteer to magician, Damien the Eternal, who pretends to be a vampire onstage. Shannon doesn't think it's a coincidence.
Shannon is fearless because she has nothing to lose. Even the most powerful vampire in existence is no match for her stubborn persistence. She breaches his security and his hard-won solitude. She gets into his house and under his skin. The desire that flares between them is as irresistible to her as it is risky. He might be a predator, after all.
But an ancient evil has followed the once great king down through the ages, always anticipating the time when he could exact his sweet vengeance. And now that Gilgamesh has fallen in love, that time has come.
